Painful Shyness

Avoidance or Inhibition Creates Problems for the Painfully Shy and for Those Around Them

Avoidance and inhibition include:

  • Avoiding situations that provide positive social interaction
  • Few or no friends
  • Avoidance of activities that are otherwise pleasurable
  • Passivity, pessimism and low self-esteem
  • Friends, family members, teachers, or mentors are concerned
